Studio Visit

Recently a few students and I had the opportunity to visit the studio of Joshua LaRock, Michael Klein, and Brandon Beckstrom. We were in for a real treat. Rodrigo and I came over to see Michael's paintings before they were to be shipped out for a show to SR Brennen Galleries while Jessica and Charlie came to see some of Joshua's recent finished portrait commissions before they will be shipped out overseas. Being there felt a little like what the public must have experienced at one of those Salon de Paris exhibitions during the 19th century, just one gorgeous painting after the other, one on top of the next. What a group of talented and skilled artists. I have to admit, we all left feeling very inspired that day.
